Worcester: 1907 Otis Traction Elevator Derby @ Commerce Bank Building

[skyman2002]

These Sound Like They Have Newer Gearless traction Motors In Them. The Motors From The 70's Where Not Very Noticeable.

These things have been ruined to the n'th degree. Surprised anything is original at this point.

@skyman2002 No. The motor is original. The comtroller was replaced.

I been in the 1910 OTIS Elevator, Completely Original but it's a manual gated elevator

@JonathanElevator29

Lucky you. That makes me more upset on this butcher job Otis did, twice.

[KONEelevatorman111]

The all the right elevator appears t be a service elevator because there is a call button on the side of the door.

@KONEelevatorman111

I noticed that AFTER ?I watched the video.

May be a redo, which is very easy here (No security!)

[KONEelevatorman111]

@georgef551 WOW no security!

[georgef551]

@KONEelevatorman111

I know.

I was also thinking, after the fact, I should've stopped at 7, and try to ride the 3'rd one.

I have some advise, Instead of pointing the camera down when there are people, point it at you and start talking...Going from UP DOWN UP DOWN is making me sea sick!

[georgef551]

@Delaypat

I do that, simply to avoid editing people out, and holding the camera out takes up valuable space in an elevator. It's very common practice in the community. Sometimes, it has to happen a lot, when it's busy.

[Delaypat]

@georgef551 forget editing people out. its only when they say EDIT ME OUT you have to...you are not going to get sued or anything..I just think that it would make the videos a bit more watachable and no so ADD..I have followed your advise with slow panning and stuff!! Do the cabs slower, we don't need to see everything right away. I'm just saying man!!!!

@Delaypat

It's a lose-lose situation. Keep it going, people get pissed. Hold it down, calms verves, makes viewers upset.

I plan on a derby retry in the future, now that I noticed some things I missed, during playback.
